Change of Communication Method to Text Messaging

We are transitioning to sending more communications via text message for patients who have a registered mobile number with us. Each month, we send a high volume of letters by post. To improve efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact, we are gradually shifting to text messaging where possible. If you change your mobile number, please update your details with us to ensure you continue receiving important notifications.

Help with symptoms at home

Sometimes the key to our recovery lies with us. For example, if you have a minor illness or a less serious injury, then self-care at home is the best option.

NHS Inform has self-help guides. These guides use set of questions similar to those that your GP or a call handler from NHS 24 would ask to establish the seriousness of your health complaint. See some of the most common health complaint guides below:

There are also guides on common conditions such as abdominal pain, rashes, back ache, headaches and many more. Go to nhsinform.scot/self-help-guides for help with minor illnesses.
